Starting with Git

There are many articles about git, but most of them are far too complex for my meager needs. There are too many different ways to do things, so much like some of my other articles, I'm collecting here what I have done so I'll be able to do the same thing again next time.

I like to have a central repository server, for various reasons:

granting access to others is fairly straightforward, without having to use a hosted solution

centralised backup, centralised hooks

I don't have to worry about cloning/pushing/pulling from systems that might (sometimes) be behind NATs or otherwise inaccessible
